I've been doing this for 2years successfully. I change water every 3 days. I live in the Caribbean. This week I have brownish/ red on my coral. Anyway ideas. The only sick fish is my French Angel. I've used melaflex. No change after 6 days. Help please

Hello, can you define sick? What symptoms? Behavior? Spots? “Dusting” on skin? Heavy breathing? Redness? Sores? Growths? Frayed fins? Scratching? Flashing? Hiding from light? Swimming in to powerhead?

Can you provide closer and clearer photos of the affected fish?

By the way welcome home to Reef2Reef, you will love it here! :)

Welcome to R2R. You are in good hands. I just wanted to state that you are literally living my dream. Living on a boat in the Caribbean with a fish tank of fish you catch. Only thing you could add to my dream is an unlimited supply of bourbon.

I'm now re-evaluating my choices in life.

Welcome to R2R... my first concern is that in two years you do not have coraline algae growth. Are the rocks relatively new to the tank? That would explain the brown color you are seeing. Others will be better at diagnosing the fish then I would.
